Green Card Questions

A Marriage of Convienience?

The situation involves a married couple who are in the process of applying for a green card for the foreign born spouse in the state of FL. The couple has been married for 3 years, and they have an interview date TENTATIVELY slated for the beginning of next year. If the green card is granted, it would not be a "conditional" one b/c they have been married for more than 2 years at the time of the interview...so, really my first question is how long should the foreign born spouse wait before divorcing the current US spouse and possibly remarrying (in the US) to ensure that he keeps his PR and immigration doesn't see any "red flags" regarding the first marriage?

Well, if you get a "non-conditional" green card, they won't know or care if you get divorced after that. So the short answer is, it's generally OK to divorce after you get your ten-year green card. However, to get there you would first have to attend the interview, and you would need to tell the truth about your marriage at the interview.
So whether you get a green card at all, is a question. If it were me, I would bring my attorney with me to the interview.

Whatever the original reasons where for getting married, it has turned into a marriage of convenience. If there is no intention of continuing with the marriage then there is fraud taking place
